Reviewers calling everything Harman tuned regardless of how closely it actually follows the Harman target.
No bass tuck? Not Harman.
The unnecessary hate on expensive cables. why? They cure cancer!
Copium.
Like you say the HD6XX hype is annoying, and its basically because they’re cheap. Same with the endless love of chifi, ‘forget Andromeda just get Blessing…’
etc etc.
It’s weird because in other areas we all admit more expensive = better, an rtx 4090 delivers a better gaming experience than a 4070. A 4k OLED TV delivers a better viewing experience than a plain 1080p LED TV.
But for some reason pervasive in audio, and on this forum in particular, is a staunch affront to the notion that more expensive headphones, or sources, are gasp, better! It’s strange as I’ve only seen this in audio. I can only surmise it’s copium to the highest degree.
that we all speak from a place of assumed knowledge and usually with heavy bias. i am included, as i read over the stuff i’ve posted, most of it is either wrong or i feel differently just 2 years or 6 months later!
most of what i read around here is thrown around with the heavy “fact” hammer attached to it but this entire hobby is deeply rooted in personal preference, opinion, feelings…
which are all exceedingly important and don’t need to be attacked or defended.
i wish we could present what we have and how we feel about it - without the goofy game of my stuff is better than your stuff. or you’re dumb for buying that you should get this cause i own this is and this is the best…
i know it’s never going away. but my pet peeve is how passively toxic this whole hobby is.
Who wants to praise HD6XX with me? They are amazing for vocals!
